Max asked for pics of a dagger that I mentioned, so here we go.
The light is a little warmer in this one. Amazing what moving the camera can do.
Gratuitous pose:
Balance point. I guessed at the size and location of the holes to get the balance right, so I was very pleased when I got done.
Also gratuitous. Playing with angles to fill the photo field better.
Yeah, I cheated: it's chisel ground:
I tried a symmetrical bevel dagger once, long ago, and it's going to stay that way. There are mechanical justifications for chisel grinds, especially on, shall we say "special purpose" knives. If you are really fascinated by the subject, you can find information out there. If not, I won't bore you.
